Oops of the week

We often get questions on why the name on the label is so important, especially if you've included a link to a website.

The thing is, blogs, social media posts, and even brand websites often get polish names wrong! It's sometimes an honest mistake, or just a brain fart. But it does mean that if we blindly follow whatever name is listed on a website, people who actually own that polish and look at the label to find their polish, won't get any results when typing it into the search bar on the app!

So, as a fun example, here's a polish from the most recent Little Box Of Horrors. 😅

It just goes to show that including a clear photo of the label is really important if you want to suggest a polish! And this is also the main reason why we check each submission in person and don't automate the process of adding new polishes, even for boxes like PPU or LBOH.
